Read the paragraph and introduce the facts (where possible) with one of the phrases from the list.

TV has a tremendous effect on children. Children spend more time watching TV than doing anything else in their waking hours. Early in life, children learn from TV to influence their parents about what to buy – not just in the area of toys, but also at the supermarket. Women buy more snack foods when accompanied by children. Also, when parents don’t limit their children’s TV watching, they become so dependent on television for their entertainment that they begin to lose their potential for creativity. A study has shown that children without TV who are left to themselves develop their own creative powers. Many people are also worried about the high percentage of programmes that highlight violence. Children have been shown to learn violence from TV. In short, the negative effects of TV probably outweigh its possible positive influence in presenting the world to the growing child.
